BMW X3 M won’t have a direct successor

AutoExec Summary
The BMW X3 M may be replaced by a battery-powered iX3 M, according to an unconfirmed report from Europe. BMW Blog claims that the combustion-powered X3 M will eventually be replaced by a battery-electric iX3 M underpinned by BMW’s upcoming Neue Klasse platform. Both BMW enthusiast sites agree that there’s a ‘ZA5’ iX3 M on the way, but neither has a timeline for when the model might surface. If a petrol-powered X3 M doesn’t materialize, the M50 xDrive version of the bigger new upcoming BMW X3 will be the most powerful and expensive combustion-powered X3 available. BMW revealed its Vision Neue Klasse X concept in the first quarter of this year as a preview of the next-generation iX3.
